Our Story
KAYTEA was founded by Kevin in 2020. Having lived in many parts of Asia and Canada, Kevin grew up experiencing many traditional and modern twists of tea cultures. When he first moved to the UK, he absolutely loved the afternoon tea experience, but wanted more variety and flavour. The journey began when Kevin started experimenting with unconventional blends, pairing complementary ingredients that created unique flavours and aromas. When people kept coming back for more of his ice teas and matcha lattes at pop-ups and events, he decided to pursue his passion – to make tea fun and relevant for a new generation!
